Abstract(s)
Narciso garante na Mitologia e Literatura antigas uma aura de enigmática singularidade: algumas alusões esparsas a tradições locais – veiculadas entre outros pelo afã descritivo de Pausânias, Cónon, Filóstrato o Velho e Calístrato o Sofista – e corroboradas aliás pela etimologia antiga do antropónimo, permitem supor como provável que, antes de ocorrer no enquadramento narrativo perfeitamente definido – e mais conhecido – das Metamorfoses de Ovídio, a narrativa já tivesse enraizadas no terreno fértil do imaginário mítico antigo algumas versões controversas. Elas não terão tido, no entanto, ao que podemos concluir pela tradição estético-literária, uma notória projecção na mundividência antiga.Obscuramente associado a outros mitos que com ele comungam traços significativos de amplo espectro simbólico (como o de outros jovens seviciados), chama a atenção, na interpretação do mito, a notação obsidiante, que a intuição dos artistas soube exaustivamente cativar no amplo arco temporal desenhado entre a Antiguidade e os nossos dias, de uma solidão intransitiva do ser diante de si mesmo, isto é, do seu próprio reflexo; a articulação poética proposta por Ovídio entre os infortunados destinos de Eco e Narciso permitirá multiplicar essa solidão numa especularidade refractiva, que convoca simultaneamente a voz e o olhar, enquanto vectores de emissão e recepção, isto é, de comunicação.Partindo do pretexto poético oferecido pelas notações da Literatura Antiga, propomo-nos tentar a hermenêutica dos ecos simbólicos do mito, e da sua peculiar acutilância no enquadramento das modernas tragédias do nosso quotidiano. A esse propósito interessa-nos trazer à colação, na moldura trágica do Holocausto, uma leitura simbólica de A Noite, de Elie Wiesel.
Narcissus guarantees in Ancient Mythology and Literature an aura of enigmatic uniqueness: some sparse allusions to local traditions - conveyed among others by the descriptive eagerness of Pausanias, Colon, Philostratus the Elder, and Calístrato the Sophist - and corroborated by the ancient etymology of the anthroponymous, allows us to suppose that, before it occurred in the perfectly defined - and better known - narrative framework of Ovid's Metamorphoses, the narrative had already rooted in the fertile ground of the ancient mythic imaginary some controversial versions. They will not have, however, to what we can conclude from the aesthetic-literary tradition, a noticeable projection into ancient worldview. Obscurately associated with other myths that share with it significant traits of a broad symbolic spectrum (such as that of other young sevicies), it is striking in the interpretation of the myth the obsidious notation, that the intuition of the artists exhaustively captivated in the wide arc drawn between antiquity and our day, of an intransitive man’s loneliness before oneself, that is, of one's own reflection; Ovid's poetic articulation between the unfortunate fates of Echo and Narcissus will make it possible to multiply this loneliness into a refractive specularity that simultaneously summons voice and gaze as vectors of emission and reception, that is, of communication. Starting from the poetic pretext offered by the notations of the Ancient Literature, we propose with this communication to try the hermeneutics of the symbolic echoes of the myth, and its peculiar acuteness in the framing of the modern tragedies of our daily lives. In this regard we are interested in bringing to the collage, in the tragic frame of the Holocaust, a symbolic reading of Elie Wiesel's The Night.
